Even if they did hate each other. Definitely a complicated brotherly relationship. But Ares and the other gods had fled when Dahak arrived. Where to, he didn't know. When he got back he was probably going to have to find them. Much as it irked him. The gods did have a purpose after all.

He leaned forward and set the glass down on the table. "After all, we're out of our time and element here. It might be prudent to at least have a basic grasp of each other's skill set in case we have to fight side by side in this battle."
